People often ask whether there are any quick fixes to the climate
crisis — easy wins that could cut emissions without waiting
decades. This week, The Climate Question does something a little
different.

Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar stage an imaginary cabinet
meeting, with three “ministers” competing to deliver the biggest
climate impact in just five years. Climate scientist and YouTuber
Adam Levy pitches methane cuts in food and farming. Radhika
Khosla, an urban climatologist and adviser to national
governments, argues building smarter and reducing air
conditioning are the fastest levers. And Jordan steps into the
role of Transport Minister to make the case for buses, bikes and
less traffic.

Together, they explore whether these quick fixes are enough — and
why, if they’re so effective, they aren’t already happening.

Guests: Radhika Khosla – Associate Professor, University of
Oxford Adam Levy – Climate Scientist and creator of ClimateAdam

Hosts: Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar Production Team: Grace
